The Auburn Cord Duesenberg Automobile Museum Saturday May 2, 2026 11:00 AM Highlights TOUR - Daredevil At The Wheel She was daring, glamorous, and unstoppable—or so it seemed. In the 1920s, Joan LaCosta raced at record-breaking speeds, outpaced the men of her era, and became a national sensation. But just as quickly as she rose to fame, her story veered into scandal, ending with a sensational trial and a sudden disappearance from the public eye. Author Tony St. Clair will share this remarkable story in a dynamic presentation based on his new book, Daredevil at the Wheel: The Climb and Crash of Joan LaCosta.  Docent Tours are included in museum admission.
